sary action.
lie MdtiH declares that the Secretary
of the German Embassy has informed
VI. Flourens that NJ. Schnaebeles was
arrested because he was tempting Ger
man recruits to desert from the army.
The offense was committed on German
soil. The Secretary who is acting in the
absence of the ambassador. says that his
government will make ample reperation
if it is proved that French soil was vio-
lated by the arrest.
BERLIN. April 53.-The National lei
titHg says: The anxiety is grOundless.
We are convinced that the Government
will not approve anything not in CON
formity with international law. 1t is
well known that Germany has often al
lowed French spies to go free, and it is
improbable that VI. Schnaebeles was de-
coyed into Germany so as to allow of his

Failure Of a labored Attempt to Work up Public
indignation Selection Yet for the
Public Building.

Special To the Puidtkd Ns,cS
JACKSONVILLE, FLA. April a3.-Con-
siderable excitement was caused here
to-day by "a double loaded article appear
ing in the Times Union of this morning,
stating that a lot in the eastern division
of the city, known as the ''Burritt" lot, ,
had been selected by Examining In
spector, Linton, recently here, as a site
for the new Government Building
which was contrary to the expressed
wish of a ma jority of the citizens of the
city, and calling upon the citizens to
hold a public Indignation meeting at the
Board of Trade rooms to protest against
the site chosen and to send post-haste to
Washington committee to head off the
confirmation of the selection.
The morning passed and the citizens
did not assemble or indignate worth a
cent. Your correspondent investigated
the rumor and found that it
had its origin in the uneasy
imagination of a local journalist who
himself has lot which he is willing to
sacrifice for the benefit of the Govern
ment at a splendid premium on its real
market price. Private advices from
Washington to-day, state positively that
no selection has been made as yet. Citi-
zens of the East End. to-day. threatened.
